Why is my puppy's poop pink and gooey but he's acting normal?

Question

My puppy l’s last two poops have had pink goo in them. It doesn’t look like blood and the goo is semi-solid in the sense that it doesn’t come apart when poked with a stick. He is acting normal and eating and drinking normally but I’m concerned. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 18 days old | 5 lbs

This could be an undigested item that he ingested and I wouldn't be too concerned if everything else is normal, the stool is solid and you don't continue to see this in his poop. I would continue to monitor his bowels. If you continue to see this in his poop then I would have your vet take a look at him. If you go in to see the vet, I would take in a fresh poop sample so that vet can see the material you are talking about and also look at it under the microscope to help rule out bacterial infections or parasites. I hope this helps!
